Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Continuity Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Michigan Publication 201a mandates EOP maintenance with a 2029 compliance deadline; failure to comply results in direct loss of grant funding. Identified gaps at the public agency level and inconsistent county-wide notification systems create ongoing preparedness and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
State-level funding pathways, including a public safety mapping grant and an expanded mini-grant program for smaller agencies, provide accessible budget options within the current planning cycle. Acting now ensures compliance, closes preparedness gaps, and protects eligibility for critical public safety funding ahead of the 2029 deadline.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently operates a fragmented mix of legacy notification platforms, creating inconsistency in public alerting and continuity risk that directly affects township-level emergency response. Combined with EOP compliance requirements under Michigan Publication 201a, the gap between current capabilities and mandated standards elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program funding and state-level public safety grants provide viable, low-local-match pathways to address this modernization now. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in use by the county can streamline procurement, and acting within the current planning cycle ensures alignment with EOP compliance deadlines and strengthens coordinated public alerting across the region.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department carries an active mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 AA website accessibility standards, consistent with broader county compliance efforts. An April 2028 deadline for archived document accessibility adds a defined regulatory horizon, and unresolved gaps elevate legal exposure and risk limiting equitable resident access to public information.
The opportunity
The April 2028 archived document deadline creates a clear planning window to prioritize remediation before compliance risk escalates. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the department to align accessibility investments with available funding pathways and reduce liability while improving digital equity for all residents.
Police Fleet Telematics & In-Vehicle Recording Readiness
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The police department currently lacks documented in-vehicle recording and telematics capabilities, creating meaningful liability exposure for the agency and the public it serves. Without these tools, oversight, incident documentation, and officer accountability remain significant operational gaps for a law enforcement fleet.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding provides a confirmed, accessible pathway to finance fleet safety and telematics investments with limited burden on local budgets. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces liability risk, strengthens public trust, and positions the department ahead of future compliance expectations.

Cybersecurity · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks documented IT management and cybersecurity tooling, creating inherent risk for a law enforcement agency handling sensitive data. Without structured controls, the agency faces growing exposure to cyber threats, operational disruption, and potential non-compliance with public safety data standards.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding is directly applicable to IT and cybersecurity investments for police agencies, offering a clear and accessible funding pathway. Acting within the current grant cycle allows the department to close critical security gaps, protect sensitive data, and strengthen operational continuity with limited impact on local budget.
